CULTURES OF COLLECTING

If you're a collector yourself or  just fascinated by other people's obsession with collecting then you will love the exhibition COLLE3T, opening at Portsmouth University's SPACE and Eldon Gallery on Monday 7  March. 
In a collaboration with Portsmouth City Museum and Art Gallery there is also a  programme of events reflecting on the history, culture and aesthetic appeal of collecting to both professional and private collectors.  The events include a Symposium, Public Lecture and Workshop over Wednesday 23 and Thursday 24 March.  Admission is free but you do need to book before Wednesday 16 March.  Further details below and at www.port.ac.uk/research/caad/collect3

COLLE3T  7 March to 4 April 2011
Monday to Friday, 10 am to 4 pm

Many of us might consider the objects as companions to our emotional lives: they may be provocations for others to make connections, and the conversations they hold when viewed become the starting point for more discussion: do objects and collections speak?
